Without any detail about how the benchmark tests have been performed, I won't give much credit to the result.

One common mistake with LiteSpeed rails test is that they do not have the rails application started before performing the benchmark. LiteSpeed does dynamic spawning and the rails framework initialization is really slow.

More fun with benchmarks:

This one makes me wonder why people bother benchmarking and tweaking the underlying server *at all* when it comes to Ruby...

The real solution to performance here may lie elsewhere - like choosing another language.

Language | Slowest | Fastest
Perl | 44.29 | 1.51
Erlang | 37.58 | 3.54
Python | 41.04 | 4.38
OCaml | 49.69 | 14.64
Ruby | 1:43.71 | 50.16
